“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
While you can’t sync adjusting entries bidirectionally between NetSuite and Google Sheets, you can import trial balance adjusting entries for analysis and tracking purposes. This one-way synchronization helps you monitor adjustments and calculate their impact on your trial balance.
Here’s how to import and analyze adjusting entries while building review workflows in Google Sheets.
Import adjusting entries for analysis using Coefficient
Coefficient provides one-way synchronization from NetSuite to Google Sheets, which includes trial balance adjusting entries for analysis purposes. While you can’t write data back to NetSuite, you can create comprehensive adjustment tracking and impact analysis.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import journal entries and adjusting entries.
Use Records & Lists to import Journal Entry records from NetSuite. Filter by journal entry type to focus on adjusting entries and include memo fields to identify adjustment reasons. Pull supporting details like approval status and entry dates for comprehensive tracking.
Step 2. Create detailed adjusting entry analysis with SuiteQL.
Write SuiteQL queries to extract adjusting entry details. Example query: SELECT je.tranid as journal_number, je.trandate, je.memo, jel.account, jel.debit, jel.credit, jel.memo as line_memo FROM transaction je JOIN transactionline jel ON je.id = jel.transaction WHERE je.type = ‘Journal’ AND je.memo LIKE ‘%Adjust%’ ORDER BY je.trandate DESC.
Step 3. Build trial balance impact analysis.
Import your unadjusted trial balance separately from adjusting journal entries. Use Google Sheets formulas to calculate adjusted balances and create an audit trail showing the impact of each adjustment. This approach provides clear visibility into how adjustments affect your final trial balance.
Step 4. Create review workflows in Google Sheets.
Track proposed adjustments in Google Sheets and calculate their potential impact on the trial balance. Use Google Sheets comments for review workflows and collaboration. Create approval tracking systems using conditional formatting and data validation.
Step 5. Manage the manual implementation process.
Export approved adjustments from Google Sheets for manual entry into NetSuite. Create standardized formats that make NetSuite entry easier and maintain documentation of which adjustments have been implemented. Set up refresh schedules to capture newly entered adjustments from NetSuite.
Enhance your adjusting entry workflow
While this approach requires manual entry of adjustments into NetSuite, it provides powerful analysis and tracking capabilities in Google Sheets. You can monitor adjustment impacts and build collaborative review processes that improve your month-end close procedures. Start tracking your adjusting entries more effectively today.
